By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

They rent them for 6 months, for free! Then you call, and they rent them to you for another 6 months, same zero price - for as long as you need them! They deliver and pick up the largest items too.
Guess anything is worth a try, right?
but thinking about this if it has gotten to the point where it is not safe to move mom then Skilled Nursing might be the safest option for both her and you.
If I wanted to roll my Husband onto his right side I would stand on the side of the right side of the bed.
I would gather the sheet, not a pad but the full sheet, at the hip and the shoulder and when the fabric of the sheet was just about touching the hip and shoulder I would bring it up while rolling him towards me. The sheet would support the body making the roll a bit easier.
When I needed to roll him back I would gently loosen the sheet and he would roll back, I would then go to the other side of the bed and repeat the process.
If I was changing the bed sheets I would gather the soiled sheet and anything soiled and roll that out and gather the clean the clean sheet and roll it under him smoothing it out as her rolled back.
If she can grasp having her bring her arm over and hold the bed rail that can help her roll easier.
A Hoyer Lift might make it easier to change her and the bedding.
There is a product called Lavin Lift straps. They are to be used with a Hoyer Lift. You place a strap on the upper thigh of each leg, hook it to the Hoyer and raise the lift. The straps will lift the lower body. (kinda like when you change a baby and you grasp the baby's legs and lift them up)
